Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cancer detection in its early stages is critical and a big concern. To locate the lung nodule in CT images, we combine the cuckoo search algorithm with the levy flight method. For nodule segmentation, we use active contouring, and for post-processing, we use MRF (Markov Random Field). For nodule segmentation, we use active contouring.
